Music retailer Marbecks is to open a new concept store in
Dunedin's Wall Street shopping mall, it has been confirmed.
Marbecks will take three of the six remaining vacant retail
spaces inside Wall Street, to use in a "prototype"
development combining music, a bookstore and coffee shop,
mall manager Regan Bennett confirmed yesterday.
The store is expected to open later this month, alongside
Greenhouse, which is opening a florist store in the mall, he
said.
As part of the move, The CD and DVD Store - which owned
Marbecks - would close its existing Dunedin store, downstairs
in the Meridian, Mr Bennett said.
The announcements would bring the number of occupied retail
spaces within the mall to 13, leaving three to be tenanted.
Marbecks managing director Roger Harper declined to comment
yesterday, saying more details would be available next week.
Five retailers - some of them relocating from elsewhere in
Dunedin - were also opening stores in the redeveloped Golden
Centre, manager Simon Eddy confirmed.
They were retailers Pascoes, Acquisitions, T&T, Venturi
and Paper Plus.
T&T and Pascoes were already trading, while the remaining
stores were to complete fitting out by Friday, when the
centre's redevelopment would be unveiled in an opening
ceremony, he said.
